The adapter sleeve 28 is provided with an appropriate projecting nib for use in association with the .pen point 36. Then, too, this adapter sleeve is constructed to receive the delivery branch 3'! of the ink supply means which comprises a substantially T-shaped member 38. That is to say, it comprises a tubular cross-head 39 having a port at and a tubular stem portion M which projects up into the reservoir 24 and provides an air vent at the point. 42.

In practice it is obvious that the valved intake end of the fountain pen is inserted into the By depressing the pen, the ink charged gun 9 serves to deliver a charge of ink into the pen. As seen in Figure 1, when the pen is depressed, the ported pilot l9 fits up into the pocket or recess 20, thus lifting the valve 2| to open position off of its feet 30 and against the This permits proper use, the valve 2| closes and the ink in the chamber M passes through the port 2!] and the branch 3'! where it is delivered by gravity for ready =Writing use.

-,It is thought that the description taken in connectionwith the drawings will enable a clear understanding of the invention to be had. Therefore, a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.

-While the preferred embodiment of the inven 1 tion has been shown and described, it is to be ,understood that minor changes coming within the :field of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.
